In Minnesota,we have had extensive experience with historical research and <br /> planning projects throughout Hennepin,Ramsey,Washington,Dakota,and Rice <br /> counties. We have successfully completed many preservation plans and context <br /> studies, including those for the University of Minnesota,and cities such as Minneapolis, <br /> Hastings,St. Cloud,Lanesboro,and Northfield. Our National Register work has <br /> involved the development of historic contexts for various aspects of Minnesota <br /> agriculture and historic landscapes. <br /> Carole Zellie is an architectural historian and urban planner. She founded Landscape <br /> Research,now a three-person firm, in 1976 and has served as project director and <br /> principal investigator for many of the firm's past projects. Ms. Zellie holds degrees in <br /> architectural history(B.A.,M.A. )from the University of Minnesota and an M.S. in <br /> historical geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For the proposed <br /> project Ms. Zellie will serve as principal investigator. <br /> In addition to the preparation of historic context studies and architectural and cultural <br /> resource surveys and all aspects of the National Register and local designation studies, <br /> Landscape Research also works with communities to develop the research and <br /> documentation phases of their projects. Preservation plans,guidelines fear new design <br /> and rehabilitation,land use plans,procedures manuals,training programs,and a variety <br /> of tours and other public education programs have resulted. <br /> Our projects have conformed to the guidelines developed by the Secretary of the Interior <br /> and have been coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office. <br /> Work Program Overview <br /> Tasks: <br /> To begin the project, the consultant will meet with city staff to discuss the project <br /> outline and objectives. <br /> The consultant will review a variety of inventory data held by the Minnesota State <br /> Historic Preservation Office, Elk River, and Sherburne County.This includes <br /> archaeological inventories, cultural resource surveys,and environmental review <br /> reports. <br /> Published and unpublished research sources will be analyzed. Sources include state, <br /> county,and local histories,archaeological reports, newspapers,land use and other <br /> historic maps,real estate records,photographs and historical views,and other archival <br /> materials found in local collections and at the Minnesota Historical Society. <br /> All previous architectural survey data will be reviewed hi light of current fieldwork and <br /> research. At the beginning of the project, the consultant will present a detailed research <br /> plan to the client. The consultant will inform staff of progress to date during the first <br /> month of the study,and first drafts of the study will be available for review and <br /> revision prior to submission of the final report. <br /> 1111 <br /> Elk River Historic Context Study 2 <br /> Landscape Research. <br /> November 15,2001 <br />
